BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a compound for treating cancer, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and more particularly to a compound containing a component effective to treat cancers isolated from balsam pear, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and derivatives thereof.

2. Description of the Related Art

In recent decades, with aging populations, affliction with cancers or malignancies has become one of top 10 causes of death in Taiwan. Medically called “tumors” include benign and malignant tumors, and generally refer to abnormal cell proliferation to form neoplasms, and even affect surrounding or distant cell tissues, affecting normal physiological functions. Common cancers include liver cancer, rectal cancer, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, leukemia, malignant lymphoma, nasopharyngeal cancer, brain tumor, lung cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, hematologic cancer, and bone cancer etc. Of them, lung cancer, gastric cancer, and liver cancer are the strongest in destruction power, accounting for 18%, 10% and 9% of the number of cancer deaths respectively.

Various malignant tumors are typically collectively referred to as “cancers”. In this case, cancer cells are in uncontrolled state in growth and division, and can invade normal tissues and affect surrounding tissues, and be metastasized to sites away from its origin via circulatory system, lymphatic system or lumen in body, thereby presenting a serious challenge on human health and life security. Methods for treatment of cancers may be generally divided into surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, hormonal therapy, cryotherapy, thermotherapy, anti-angiogenic therapy, as well as TCM therapy, CMH therapy etc.

Among the various treatment methods of cancers, surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are main means of clinical treatment at present, and different therapies are adapted according to the type, position and stage of cancer in a patient. Surgical resection is mainly used to remove cell tissues at cancer site; and radiotherapy and chemotherapy also have damage to normal cells while killing tumor cells, with high side effect, poor quality of life, and low survival rate in patients. However, surgical resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy all are an irreversible approach in which human body cells, tissues and even organs are damaged.

With exploration achievements for cell death phenomena and molecular mechanisms, an entirely new understanding on screening of anti-cancer agents has been generated, and therefore, a method which causes less irreversible secondary damage to cancer patients, for example, an approach treating a particular signaling pathway of tumor cells or a particular target site of cancer cells using an agent containing Chinese herbal medicine or extracted ingredients thereof, is being paid more and more attention.

Balsam pear, commonly grown in tropical and sub-tropical regions, is a plant of the Cucurbitaceae family, called as Momordica charantia L. in a scientific name, and has many different varieties or lines in various locations due to natural evolution or artificial hybridization. In Taiwan, commonly called “balsam pear” generally refers to bailian kugua or “dabai kugua” sold on the market as foods at home. Bitter gourd, which has become popular in recent years, is also a balsam pear, having the same scientific name as bailian kugua and belonging to a different line from bailian kugua.

One of the most common functions of balsam pear is fire-downbearing. It is considered in traditional Chinese herbal medicine that a whole plant of balsam pear can be used as medicine, and is cold in nature and tastes bitter, can be absorbed in heart, spleen, and stomach, has summer heat clearing and antipyretic effects, and can improve eyesight and remove toxic substances. In addition, in traditional medicine in some countries and regions such as China, Japan, South East Asia, India, Africa, Latin America, balsam pear can also be used to treat diabetes, and generally local varieties are used. Even balsam pear is referred to as plant insulin in some locations.

Recently, it has been proved through modern scientific tests by scientists that balsam pear indeed has hypoglycemic function. It has also been found from further research that active ingredients such as proteins, polypeptides, alkaloids, triterpene compounds, and steroid compounds in balsam pear, in addition to hypoglycemic effect, also have antiviral, antibacterial, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, hypolipidemic, and other effects.

Moreover, the pre sent inventors have found that momordicin I contained in balsam pear and derivatives thereof have inhibition effect on the growth of cancer cells, and could be used as active ingredient in an agent for treating or preventing cancers.

An alkyl structure containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms is referred to as “lower alkyl”. For example, the alkyl group includes methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, t-butyl, isobutyl, 2-isopropyl-3-methylbutyl, pentyl, pent-2-yl, hexyl, isohexyl, heptyl, kept-2-yl, 4,4-dimethylpentyl, octyl, 2,2,4-trimethylpentyl, nonyl, decyl, undecyl, and dodecyl. The cycloalkyl structure may be monocyclic or polycyclic, and examples thereof include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, and cyclohexyl. Unless otherwise defined, an alkyl group in each example individually contains an optional substituent, i.e. unsubstituted alkyl or substituted alkyl. In a particular embodiment, the alkyl group is substituted C2-10 alkyl.

Herein, the term “acyl” means a moiety remaining after the removal of hydroxyl (—OH) from the molecule of an inorganic or organic oxoacid. Examples of the acyl group include, but not limited to, formyl, acetyl, propionyl, butyryl, i-butyryl, methylsulfonyl, ethylsulfonyl, n-propylsulfonyl, iso-propylsulfonyl, n-butylsulfonyl, iso-butylsulfonyl, tert-butylsulfonyl), and the like.

Herein, the term “alkoxy” means —O— alkyl group. Examples of the alkyl group include, but not limited to —OCH3, —OCH2CH3, —O(CH2) 2CH3, —O(CH2)3CH3, —O(CH2)4CH3, and —O(CH2)5CH3. The term “lower alkoxy” means —O— (lower alkyl), such as —OCH3 and —OCH2CH3.

Herein, the term “aryl” means an aromatic ring or a partially aromatic ring system consisting of C and H atoms. An aryl group may contain a plurality of rings bonded or fused to each other. Examples of the aryl group include naphthyl and phenyl. Unless otherwise indicated, an aryl group in each example individually contains an optional substituent, i.e. unsubstituted aryl or substituted aryl. In a particular embodiment, the aryl group is substituted phenyl. In another embodiment, the aryl group is substituted naphthyl. Herein, the “heteroaryl” means that at least one carbon atom in an aryl group carries a heteroatom (e.g., N, O, or S). Examples thereof include benzofuranyl, benzothienyl, quinolyl, benzodioxolyl, furyl, and thienyl.

Herein, the term “aralkyl” means that an alkyl group is bound to an aryl group.

Unless otherwise defined herein, the term “halogen (halo)” includes F, Cl, Br, and I.

Unless otherwise defined herein, the term “substituted”, when used to describe a chemical structure or chemical group, means that one or more hydrogen are substituted with an atom, chemical group, or functional group, i.e., but not limited to, —OH, —CHO, alkoxy, acyl (e.g., —OAc), alkenyl, alkyl (e.g., methyl, ethyl, propyl, t-butyl), aryl, aryloxy, halo, or haloalkyl (e.g., —CCl3, —CF3, —C(CF3) 3).

In a particular embodiment, the term “substituted”, when used to describe a chemical structure or chemical group, means that one or more hydrogen atoms in the structure or group of a derivative are substituted with one or more of alkoxy, acyl, alkyl, aryl, halo, haloalkyl, or hydroxyl.

Unless otherwise defined herein, a “therapeutically effective amount” of a compound means the amount of a compound that, when used in treating or managing a disease or condition, is sufficient to provide a therapeutic effect or to delay or reduce a symptom related to the disease or condition. A therapeutically effective amount of a compound means an amount, alone or in combination with other agents, sufficient to provide a therapeutic effect of treating or managing a disease or disorder. The term “therapeutically effective amount” can encompass an amount that improves overall therapeutic effect, reduces or avoids symptoms of a disease or condition, or enhances the efficacy of another therapeutic agent.

Unless otherwise defined herein, the term “treat, treating or treatment” means an action of administration to a patient with a particular disease or disorder, where the action can reduce the disease or disorder of the patient, or the severity of one or more symptoms, or slow or delay the progress of the disease or disorder.

It should be noted that if the stereochemistry of a structure or a portion of a structure is not indicated with, for example, bold or dashed lines, the structure or portion of the structure is to be interpreted as encompassing all stereoisomers of it. Similarly, where a compound contains one or more asymmetric centers and its name does not specifically define the stereochemistry encompassed by these asymmetric centers, the compound should be interpreted as encompassing its pure optical isomers and mixtures thereof. Furthermore, any atom with unsatisfied valences shown in the figures is assumed to have the sufficient hydrogen atoms to satisfy the valences.

Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of the invention are approximations, the numerical values set forth in the specific examples are presented herein as precisely as possible. Any numerical value, however, inherently contains certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in its respective testing measurement. Herein, the term “about” generally means that an actual value is within 10%, 5%, 1%, or 0.5% above and below a particular value or range. Alternatively, the term “about” indicates that the actual value falls within an acceptable standard error of the mean when considered by one of ordinary skill in the art. Except in the Examples, or where otherwise explicitly indicated, all ranges, amounts, values, and percentages used herein (for example, for describing amounts of materials, time, temperature, operation conditions, amount ratio, and the like) are understood to be modified by the word “about”. Thus, unless expressly stated to the contrary, the numerical parameters disclosed in this specification and the appended claims are all approximations and, if required, may vary. At the very least, each numerical parameter should at least be construed in light of the number of reported significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques.

The compounds of this invention are momordicin I derivatives which may contain one or more stereogenic centers; and therefore, the compounds are present as different isomers, for example, a racemic mixture of enantiomers and/or mixture of diastereomers. The present invention encompasses enantiomers of these compounds, and a mixture of these enantiomers and/or diastereomers. Enantiomers may be prepared by asymmetric synthesis, or separated using conventional techniques, e.g., crystallization, chromatography, and separation with a resolving agent. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a preferred method for separating enantiomers from a racemic mixture. Additionally, two enantiomers may also be separated from each other from racemic isomers through a reaction with the optically active form of a resolving agent in a solvent. Depending on the optical form of the resolving agent used, one isomer of two enantiomers may be separated as an insoluble salt, and compared to the isomer remaining in the solution, the separated isomer has high yield and high optical purity.

The present invention further includes a mixture of stereoisomers of the compounds. Furthermore, the present invention also encompasses conformational isomers (i.e., cis and trans isomers, with or without double bonds) of the compounds, including a mixture of the isomers, pure isomers, or substantially pure form.

The pharmaceutical composition disclosed in this invention is suitable for treating various cancers, for example, such as, but not limited to, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, leukemia, malignant lymphoma, nasopharyngeal cancer, malignant glial brain tumor, lung cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, bone cancer, rectal cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, or hematologic cancer, and preferably, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, leukemia, malignant lymphoma, nasopharyngeal cancer, malignant glial brain tumor, lung cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, hematologic cancer, or bone cancer.

Preparative Example 1

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, flow diagrams illustrating separation of compounds 1 to 23 are shown. Firstly, air-dried balsam pear stem (at a dry weight of 1.0 kg) was ground by a grinder, and extracted with 10 L MeOH×3. The extracts were combined, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Liquid/liquid layer separation was performed with EtOAc/H2O. The upper EtOAc layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 35 g of a dark green crude extract.

The crude extract was subjected to preliminary separation by column chromatography using Silica gel 60, 70-230 mesh in combination with organic solvents n-hexane/EtOAc/MeOH at different ratios for gradient elution. Firstly, n-hexane was used as initial elution solvent, and the proportion of EtOAc was gradually increased to enhance the polarity of the eluent till the proportion of EtOAc reached 100%. Then, EtOAc was used as eluent, and the proportion of MeOH was gradually increased to enhance the polarity of the eluent till the proportion of MeOH reached 100%. Fractions were combined by ¹H-NMR and TLC sheet to give 29 fractions in total, MC-1 to MC-29, respectively. The separation process diagram is shown in FIG. 1.

1. Purification and separation of compounds 1 and 2 Referring to FIG. 1, MC-19 (5 g) obtained using n-hexane/EtOAc (1:8) as eluent was subjected to reverse-phase column chromatography over silica gel (RP-18, 230 to 400 mesh) with MeOH/water (80:20) as eluent, and divided into two fractions, MC-19-R1 and MC-19-R2, respectively. Then, MC-19-R1 (4 g) was subjected to reverse-phase column chromatography over silica gel (RP-18, 230 to 400 mesh) with MeOH/water (60:40 to 100:0) as eluent, and divided into five fractions, MC-19-R1-R1 to MC-19-R1-R5, respectively. Then, MC-19-R1-R4 (3.3 g) was subjected to reverse-phase HPLC (RP-18, 5 μm, 250×25 mm, Merck, UV-vis detector), and separated and purified with MeOH/water (80:20) as eluent, to give 30 mg compound 1 and 40 mg compound 2.

Referring to FIG. 2, 270 mg of MC-19-R1-R4 (3.3 g) was dissolved into pyridine (2 ml), and the reaction lasted for 3 h with addition of 4 drops of acetic anhydride and then was stopped with water. Liquid/liquid layer separation was performed with EtOAc. The upper EtOAc layer was concentrated under reduced pressure, and separated and purified using normal-phase column chromatography over silica gel and reverse-phase HPLC to give compounds 3 (7 mg), 4 (3.2 mg), 5 (5.2 mg), 6 (9 mg), 7 (26.2 mg), 8 (3.5 mg), 9 (10.6 mg), and 10 (24 mg).

3. Purification and Separation of Compound 11

Referring to FIG. 1, MC-18 (2 g) obtained using n-hexane/EtOAc (1:6) as eluent was subjected to normal-phase column chromatography over silica gel (Silica gel 60, 230-400 mesh) with n-hexane/EtOAc (1:1-0:1) as eluent, and divided into 11 fractions, MC-18-N1 to MC-18-N11, respectively. Then, MC-18-N4 (750 mg) obtained using n-hexane/EtOAc (1:3) as eluent was subjected to reverse-phase column chromatography over silica gel (RP-18, 230 to 400 mesh) with MeOH/water (70:30 to −100:0) as eluent, and divided into 11 fractions, MC-18-N4-R1 to MC-18-N4-R11, respectively. Then, MC-18-N4-R3 (119.3 mg) was subjected to reverse-phase HPLC (RP-18, 5 μm, 250×25 nm, Merck, UV-vis detector), and separated and purified with MeOH/water (75:25) as eluent, to give compound 11 (26 mg).

4. Purification and Separation of Compounds 12 to 14

Referring to FIG. 1, MC-27 (6.3 g) obtained using EtOAc/MeOH (2:1) as eluent was subjected to reverse-phase column chromatography (MCI) with MeOH/water (60:40-100:0) as eluent, and divided into 10 fractions, MC-27-M1 to MC-27-M10, respectively.
